About me

I am originally from Austin, Texas, and moved to Denver with my husband several years ago for residency training. Working for the Colorado Permanente Medical Group at Saint Joseph Hospital has been tremendously rewarding and interesting. I feel privileged to play an integral role in the care of patients and their families during times of illness and crisis, and to provide education and role modeling for our residents and students.

About my practice

I chose to become a hospitalist because I really enjoy the pace and flow of hospital work. Acute care is both rewarding and stimulating. I enjoy providing team-based care, which includes working with nurses, pharmacists, residents, students and often specialists. I strive to truly hear my patients' concerns and make treatment plans together that serve their needs. I respect my patients and aim to provide the most appropriate care, so they aren’t spending extra time or money to get the care they deserve. I care for hospitalized adults over age 16.

How I thrive

I enjoy dancing and watching ballet, playing piano, and spending as much time as possible with my husband and our pets – our large dog, Zeus, and occasionally cantankerous cat, Mikey.
